Therefore, to avoid disappointment, we'll show you a trick to know for sure if a trade supports Apple Pay as a payment or not, using the native Apple Maps app.

How to know which merchants accept Apple Pay with Maps

The way to find out if an establishment allows to pay with Apple Pay is quite simple and fast.

1) First we go to the Maps app, either on our iPhone, iPad or from a Mac.

2) Next, we find the name of the trade we want to know the availability of Apple Pay.

Also we must keep in mind that Apple Pay in Spain still has not been implemented in only establishments, so for our example we must find a big trade like Carrefour, The English court or our example: an Apple Store.

Click on the icon of the trade or about the i, which will return the information related to the trade itself: your name, address and contact details, schedule and comments, we will find if you support Apple Pay as payment.
